passage of the plan was essentially supposed to be a sign of republican unity against president obama. is in other words, we have our plan, we'll just go ahead and pass that, and that'll put you on the spot. the burden to get something done is going to be laid in the lap of president obama and the senate democrats because look at how unified we house republicans are behind our speaker. well, just about an hour ago john boehner was forced to pull his own plan off the floor because it turns out he did not have the votes from his own side to pass it. he didn't have enough republican votes to pass the republican plan. after it was clear that he did not have the votes speaker boehner called an emergency republican meeting to twist the arms of his own members. at one point republican senator rob portman of ohio was called in to help mr. boehner in the arm-twisting department. but it was ultimately to no avail. he could not convince his own side. john boehner canceled the vote. then he put out a statement saying it's now up to democrats to figure it out. and then the house went into recess a

better for republicans than the dynamics of a romney/obama fight. >> and let me ask you, you released your taxes, as you noted, in the middle of a debate, actually. i listened to you talk last night, sort of talking about how the people who voted for you in south carolina feel so disconnected from the elites in washington and new york. you talked about the elite media. i remember in those tax returns, last year you made $3 million. you worked for freddie mac and fannie mae, two government agencies people think helped create the housing mess. you were speaker of the house for several terms. so how are you not an elite? what makes the difference between an elite new yorker and an elite washingtonian and newt gingrich? >> you know, ronald reagan did very well for a long time, and people understood that he -- he was never in washington even when he was president. i think it's a matter of attitude. i ran for congress to change things in washington. i worked with president reagan to change things in washington. as speaker of the house, we did change things. welfare reform, first tax cut in
